Before & After Photos

Myron M. in Morton, MN was visiting a local home show and he found the American Waterworks booth. He had a cracked foundation wall and he had heard we repair foundations, so he stopped to speak with one of our Design Specialists. We set up a time to give him a FREE onsite estimate, so we could inspect his basement and provide him with a solution. After evaluating his foundation, we recommended installing wall anchors to permanently stabilize his foundation wall. He was pleased with the solution and happy he wouldn’t have to replace his foundation, so he scheduled the installation.

Our production team started the installation by drilling small holes through the block foundation and inserting long metal rods. Then, they secured the ends of the rods with anchor plates and tightened them as far as they could go. Our wall anchor system is designed with galvanized steel, allowing for long-term corrosion resistance. Each anchor system also includes a 25-year warranty against manufacturing defects, and each installation includes our own performance warranty. Myron was impressed with the installation and is thrilled that he no longer has to be concerned about the structural integrity of his foundation.

Homeowners in Larimore, ND wanted to get foundation repair done on their deteriorating exterior foundation wall. They got in contact with our office staff at American Waterworks and scheduled a FREE estimate with our Design Specialist. Our Design Specialist went to the homeowners' house, carefully inspected and examined their deteriorating foundation, and proposed a solution that would fit their needs and budget. The homeowners were confident in the solution, so they went ahead with the project. 

Our Foreman and his crew installed our ShotLock System, which is a spray-on solution that offers a quick, affordable alternative to demolishing and rebuilding a deteriorating foundation. It is a fiber-reinforced solution that is two times stronger than normal concrete. Once the project was completed, our Foreman performed a thorough post-walkthrough, ensuring the homeowners were happy and their expectations were met.

Ron and Patricia S. of Barrett, M had cracked walls in their family room, so they called American Waterworks to schedule a FREE Estimate. Our Design Specialist, Ryan Powell, inspected the problem and came up with a solution. Ron and Patricia moved forward and scheduled an installation ate. 

Our Foreman, Matt Zeller, and his production team dug eight holes outside of the home and inserted a long, medal rod in each hole from the exterior soil to the interior wall. Our team tightened on a GeoLock Wall Anchor to each rod, making the walls pull back to their original position. Matt and his crew capped the anchors and made sure Ron and Patricia were happy. To complete the installation, our crew back filled the holes and replaced the soil.

Todd and Wendie of Danube, MN, had significant issues with their damp basement, which had cracking and bowing walls. They decided to call American Waterworks for a FREE estimate, and shortly after the appointment was scheduled, our Design Specialist, Shane, headed out to the property. 

Following the consultation and proposed solutions of waterproofing and foundation support, Todd scheduled an appointment for installation.

Our Foreman, Luis, and his production crew started the installation by implementing our PowerBrace Wall System and GeoLock Wall Anchors to correct the foundation issues. 7 PowerBraces and 11 GeoLocks were installed. The PowerBrace system is an I-shaped beam that stabilizes and helps straighten the bow of the wall over time. The PowerBrace system is drilled into the home's support beams and the concrete on which the home lies. The Geolock system stabilizes foundation walls by anchoring them to the hard-packed virgin soil beyond the foundation. 

Next, the crew broke out the concrete floor perimeter and formed a trench. In the trench, our team installed our WaterGuard System. Our WaterGuard is a patented below-floor drain that rests in a drainage bed on top of the foundation footing. It is our most commonly used drain system because of its resistance to water clogs, easy-to-access service ports, and can collect leaking water from basement walls. They also installed our TripleSafe Sump Pump System. The TripleSafe Sump Pump System has three levels of protection to solve all water problems a homeowner may experience.

Along with the TripleSafe Sump Pump, there is a battery backup that helps in cases where power is lost in a home. The battery will keep the pumps draining any excess water build-up. To complete the WaterGuard project, Luis and his team covered the open gaps with rock and replaced the concrete. 

The team then proceeded to install the CleanSpace wall System around the perimeter of the basement. Our CleanSpace Wall System is attached to the walls with plastic fasteners, so it never falls. It also prevents humidity from invading the walls and gives the basement a clean and bright appearance, with a 25-year warranty. 

The couple was pleased with the outcome and glad they decided to go with Waterworks.
